Monitoring Process Resource Usage via Daily Process Log

Overview:

When your VPS experiences slowness, it's usually due to a specific account or script consuming too much CPU or RAM. WHM provides a "Daily Process Log" that helps you identify exactly which user is causing the load.

How to Monitor Resources:

  1. Log in to WHM as root.

  2. In the search bar, type "Daily Process Log".

  3. You will see a list of accounts. Click on a specific Date to view that day's usage.

  4. Analyze the Data:

    • CPU Percentage: Shows which user is hogging the processor.

    • Memory Usage: Shows if a script is leaking memory.

    • Top Processes: Shows the specific command or script being executed.

  5. If you find a malicious or "heavy" script, you can contact the user or suspend the account to save server stability.

Pro Tip: Use the "Process Manager" tool in WHM to see real-time active processes and "Kill" any process that is freezing your server.
